Psalms119:106

Verſ. 106 I have ſworn, and I will perform it] A religious vow is nothing elſe but a ſolemn promiſe, or rather oath made to God to uſe this or that means, either to avoid ſome evill whereunto hee findeth himſelf inclined, or too bee ſet onwards in the performance of ſome duty, unto which hee finds himſelf very backward. Thus Neh. 10. Maſora ſepes legi, dec mae divitiis, vota ſanctimoniae, ſilentium ſap[illegible: 1 letter]entiae. Pi[illegible: 1 letter]ke Aboth. they take a new oath, and ſeal to it. Thus Job chap. 31.1. and Jacob, Gen. 28.21, 22. called therefore the Father of vows.

That I will keep thy Righteous Judgements] Keep them as I am able, and as thou by thy grace ſhalt enable mee, Pſal, 119.32 Peter was too peremptory, Jephtha too haſty.
